66: Who is Advocating For You? Interview with Nurse Burnout Coach Janna Holterman Part 1

As today’s guest will remind you, “what you resist persists.” Even if you have the ability to push your own needs to the side, they will always catch up with you, whether it’s in the form of an emotional breakdown or apathy towards other parts of your life.Host Sarah Lorenzini is speaking with Nurse Burnout Coach Janna Holterman in a special two-part series!
